Anyway, don't you just love soup on a cozy, winter day? Fitting with all of my recipes, they are EASY and NUTRITIOUS. Looking here, it seems we like three types: stews, chilis, and creamy soups. Remember, cashews, white beans, and even cauliflower provide satisfying creaminess. Stews really fill us up and warm us up! Finally, chili always seems to be a crowd pleaser! When I ask patients "do you like beans?", and they reply NO, when I remind them about chili, they almost always say they do like the beans in chili. Anyway, here are several soup recipe links all in one place.

It was so amazing to hear them ask me for their turmeric tea, or a cup of beans, or B12!

<br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Part of the <a href="http://fresh-you.blogspot.com/2017/11/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-app.html">Daily Dozen</a> includes 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric each day.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">These two foods come pretty close to a magic bullet for their awesomeness. That's kind of how the <a href="http://fresh-you.blogspot.com/2017/11/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-app.html">Daily Dozen</a> works; it encourages us to regularly consume the foods that have been shown through scientific evidence to be most helpful to our health (berries, broccoli, and beans also come to mind!).</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Just take a look at the 48 nutritionfacts.org <a href="https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/turmeric/">videos featuring turmeric</a>, or the <a href="https://nutritionfacts.org/?s=flaxseed&is_v=1">33 videos on flaxseed</a>.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Adding a dash of pepper to your turmeric significantly increases its potency and beneficial effects.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Instead of measuring this out each day, you can make a large batch, and just take a spoonful of the mix each day.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">The following recipe provides 16 days worth:</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><b>Daily Turmeric and Flax Mix</b></span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">1 c ground flaxseed (16 tablespoons)</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon ground turmeric (16 quarter teaspoons)</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">1 teaspoon pepper (16 pinches)</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Try stirring your spoonful into just a few ounces of water and gulping it down, add a bit more water to your cup to make sure none of the goodness has gone to waste!</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Someone who took one of my classes, then took up the habit of daily flax, and called it their daily SAWDUST! But really it is hardly different from taking some other daily pill. Only this is just food! With many POSITIVE SIDE EFFECTS.</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">I love the sense of accomplishment by checking off two checkmarks so quickly and easily!</span><br />
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">My 13-year-old daughter is even trying it out as a possible remedy to her sore knees and ankles as she starts off a busy fall season with lots of practices, and legs that are getting longer by the day (lucky girl!).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Keep in mind, that almost all foods made outside the home contain an abundance of salt and oil, and often sugar. Hence, finding SOS-free (no salt, oil, and sugar) is challenging when eating out. You'll have to keep looking past <a href="https://www.chipotle.com/home">Chipotle</a> for that. Still, <a href="https://www.chipotle.com/home">Chipotle</a> CAN serve a pretty great meal!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Start off with plenty of salad!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Then choose cilantro-lime brown rice.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Then choose black and or pinto beans (grab double scoops of one or both!).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Add fajita vegetables.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Add fresh tomato salsa and roasted chili-corn salsa (these likely contain more fiber, though fiber content isn't provided on <a href="http://www.chipotle.com/">www.chipotle.com</a>).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. Finish with guacamole and more lettuce!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">On our last family vacation, I realized I still needed a "berries <a href="http://fresh-you.blogspot.com/2017/11/dr-gregers-daily-dozen-app.html">checkmark</a>". I decided to toss raisins in my bowl! It was delicious! Ever since, I have been adding raisins to all my Mexican food!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2-4 servings beans</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 serving berries (when you add raisins...keep a bag in your car!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 serving other fruit (guacamole)</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2-5 servings other vegetables (peppers, onions, tomatoes, corn)</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1-3 servings whole grains (3 scoops of rice would be a lot for me, but it's possible!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 beverage (I recommend the soda water...I love bubbles!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 Tbsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Combine all ingredients in a food processor for about 2 min until a dough forms. At this point, you could be done, form into balls or bars, and eat it just like that!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">To make cookies, form balls and flatten. Cookies will not change shape during baking. </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bake at 350 for ~15 min. Enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here is how I sometimes do it. Dump dough on a silicone baking sheet, flatten dough with a second baking sheet. Then use a round tablespoon to sort of cut out cookie shapes right on the baking sheet. It makes about 3.5 dozen cookies. Bake at 350 for ~15 min. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">My kids called it "the burrito shop" when they were really little and then it was "Burrito Bell"...anyway, we have been going for years, and many people think "yuck!" or "boy, that's surprising that you eat something so unhealthy". Anyway, we do eat there often!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">So it was great to hear others think the same!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Carissa Stanz of <a href="https://www.wideopeneats.com/">Wide Open Eats</a> just wrote an article about it: <a href="https://www.wideopeneats.com/know-taco-bell-become-one-healthiest-fast-food-chains/">Did You Know that Taco Bell Has Become One of the Healthiest Food Chains?</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tessa Newell of the food news website called <a href="https://www.foodbeast.com/">FoodBeast</a> also wrote an article a few years ago called: <a href="https://www.foodbeast.com/news/taco-bell-has-low-key-become-one-of-americas-healthiest-fast-food-chains/">Taco Bell Has Low Key Become One of America's Healthiest Fast Food Chains</a> (<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taco-bell-is-now-one-of-americas-healthiest-fast-food-chains-2016-10">Business Insider also shared Tessa's article</a>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Plus, <a href="https://www.pcrm.org/about-us/staff/neal-barnard-md-facc">Dr Neal Barnard</a>, president of <a href="https://www.pcrm.org/">Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine</a>, has even suggested going to Taco Bell for a bean burrito!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">These are my kudos for Taco Bell.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. It's a FAST, CHEAP way to get some nutritious food, most importantly, BEANS, when you are out and about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. It tastes great and fresh!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. The refried beans do NOT contain lard (often refried beans are made with lard).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. This one I learned from Tessa's article...Taco Bell has reduced it's sodium content by 15% in the last decade (since 2008).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. Also from Tessa, they have great online nutrition info at <a href="https://www.tacobell.com/nutrition/allergen-info">TacoBell.com</a> such as for allergens and ingredients. As of 2016, they planned to get rid of all artificial ingredients. I would say they have done well...there are lots of chemicals in pop, but as far as the food goes, the ingredients look pretty great!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Tips for ordering HEALTHY:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Order your items "fresco style". This means that cheese and sour cream will be substituted for pico de gallo (a tasty mix of chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Replace meat in any item for beans. We always go with the refried beans, but they also carry black beans!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Tostadas and corn taco shells are your best bet for whole grains, though there is added oil, which will almost always be included in restuarant food. I already mentioned the reduction in sodium across the board. In general, Mexican food has less sugar than other types of food, so that's another good thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">4. Add guacamole for extra flavor, nutritious fat, and satisfation to your meal! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">carla wasa at toco bell one month ago. written by carla.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is what we order most often:</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Spicy Tostada, fresco style, make sure jalepeno sauce is omitted, and add guacamole ($1.00 plus cost of guacamole which varies from $0.25-0.50).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Bean Burrito, fresco style, sometimes with guacamole (prices vary...around $1.29).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Pintos N Cheese, fresco style, really just pintos and pico :) ($1.39). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

It's really great for our mental and physical health, and this naturally is of great benefit to the development of children as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just as I set out to look into the research, I hit gold immediately, as <u>Business Insider</u> had a wonderful article on the topic, including the journal citations (and links to FULL studies!) for each of the various benefits!</span><br />

Note: the ingredients will still include salt and/or miso even though there will be none. On the front there will be a sticker saying "SOS-free".</span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Here is a great way to consume some turmeric without even tasting it! I made it with about 1.5 inches of fresh turmeric root I was making up for not having it yesterday, and frankly, it was easier to throw that much in than to cut a piece. This recipe is <i>that </i>easy! Plus, if you can't taste 1.5 inches of turmeric root, I don't believe your taste buds would ever detect a quarter-inch portion in this drink.</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H6NFds97z0o/X9LNjzDBb-I/AAAAAAAAfR4/BKt5EjlJQhkTzY6yKYCdWhiw5x6Wz0tFgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1084/fresh-you%2Bchocolate%2Bmilk.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1084" data-original-width="813" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-H6NFds97z0o/X9LNjzDBb-I/AAAAAAAAfR4/BKt5EjlJQhkTzY6yKYCdWhiw5x6Wz0tFgCLcBGAsYHQ/w300-h400/fresh-you%2Bchocolate%2Bmilk.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">The best part is probable that you get your daily dose of turmeric! Who cares, you ask? Me, nutritional science, anyone with inflammation, and anyone who doesn't want inflammation! <i>Hello people, muscle soreness is often due to inflammation!</i></span><br />

<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: large;">Regarding science, in recent years, more than 5000 medical articles have been published about turmeric's curcumin, and it may play a role in preventing and treating lung disease, brain disease, and a variety of cancers (p. 351 of <a href="http://fresh-you.blogspot.com/2016/02/how-not-to-die-by-michael-greger.html">How Not to Die</a>).</span><br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Easy Blueberry Muffins</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">14 pitted dates</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4 ripe bananas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1/4 c ground flaxseed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1/2 c warm water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2 c whole wheat flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 Tbsp aluminum-free baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1 tsp baking soda</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3 c wild blueberries, tiny, frozen</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In large mixing bowl, combine flour and powders. In high-speed blender, combine fruit, flax, and water. Add wet ingredients from blender to dry mixture. Combine only until dry is all wet, careful not to over-mix. Fold in berries. Fill muffin pan. I love silicone bakeware. I make a dozen muffins and then make what's left into "cookies" (you could probably get another 2-3 muffins). Bake at 350 for 60 min.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">After you let them cool, muffins come out of silicone pan easily - no need to grease the pan. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>BERRY BUZZ</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Try to have at least 1/2 cup of berries or 1/4 cup of raisins every day! It'll help your brain stay young and keep those aging free radicals way! Cherries and grapes also count! The darker the better! So for grapes, choose red over green, blackberries over raspberries, dark raisins over golden. More color means more benefit to your body! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Easy Blueberry Muffins are very similar to <a href="http://fresh-you.blogspot.com/2019/04/chocolate-cake-breakfast-muffins.html">Chocolate Cake Breakfast Muffins</a> and <a href="https://fresh-you.blogspot.com/2013/09/smooth-and-sweet-banana-bread.html">Smooth and Sweet Banana Bread</a>, and more flavors are coming! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For me, the secret is buying roasted hazelnuts. I have tried roasting them myself, but haven't gotten that quite right.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You can check off the healthy foods of nuts, flax, and a fruit with this tasty snack!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Form dough into whatever shape you like! It was fun pressing into a 9x9" pan and cutting into squares. Freezing briefly (20 min) before cutting helps, but is not necessary. Enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">*remember, roasted hazelnuts are key!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Today we have <a href="https://blog.ted.com/the-power-of-daydreams-4-studies-on-the-surprising-science-of-mind-wandering/">a surprising TED talk</a> about daydreaming and happiness. Science has found that when our minds wander, we are often thinking negatively. Even if pleasant thoughts fill our minds, <u>we are virtually NEVER as happy as if we were focusing on the present moment.</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Bottom Line: BE HERE NOW!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Even if our daydreams are positive ones, we are at best, 90-some-% as happy as we would be if we were focused on the present moment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">For example, DREAMING of a beach vacation only has the potential to make us ALMOST as happy as if we just focus on what we are currently doing....like washing one dish at a time, as we empty the kitchen sink after dinner!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">At any given moment, our shot at the greatest level of happiness is to be MINDFUL of the present moment, even if we are doing something boring, such as commuting to work. In the following research, this was true for every activity!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's the video of Matt Killingsworth's presentation/research:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a <a href="https://ppc.sas.upenn.edu/">Positive Psychology</a> researcher, he wonders what causes happiness. Matt studies the contents of our moment to moment experiences on <a href="https://www.trackyourhappiness.org/">Trackyourhappiness.org</a> (<a href="http://trackyourhappiness.org/">you can get the app and join in!</a>)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As of video's publishing, at least 15,000 people have been studied, who were of a wide range of ages, income, education, and marital status. Results were based on the most common activities that people usually do through the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He wondered:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Does mind wondering increase our happiness?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What if thoughts are pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">What happens first? mind wandering or unhappiness?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">He found:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mind wandering decreases our happiness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mind wandering PRECEDES unhappiness (rather than unhappiness coming before mind wandering).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is the case, whether thoughts are unpleasant, neutral, or PLEASANT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So keep your mind clear and enjoy your moments!</span><br />
